Tuna regs (comm)

[Mr. Sandman]

OK, This is how I understand it:

The Charter Boat lic allows both rec and comm activity (but not on same day)

The General lic just comm activity

Is this right?


What are the commercial limits on bluefin, yellowfin, longfin albacore and bigeye etc. I don't see them listed on the permits website.

Ie.

What size limit(s)
(is it 73" curved fork length (for BF)? I don't see it spelled out clearly anyplace)

What retention limits(s)

[Slick Moedee]

Final BFT Comm limits have not been set yet. More than likely will be 3 fish 73"+/day.

YFT and BET have a min size of 27", no limits

Albacore and skips have no size or bag limits.

Didn't find them at NMFS Permit Shop either.
